2.4 WMS service-level metadata
Whilst the portal is layer based, it is important top add as much metadata as possible in the service metadata. Some metadata may only be added explicitly at the service level.
2.4.2 Recommended service-level metadata
You should attempt to fill in as much service level metadata as possible, in addition to the mandated metadata (above) we recommend that as a minimum you also populate the following.
| Metadata name | Indicative XPATH to metadata |
|---|---|
| Contact Person | [Service/ContactInformation/ContactPersonPrimary/ContactPerson] |
| A named individual or named role (such as Director General) within the data owner organization to act as a contact for any enquires relating to the WMS service. | |
| Country | [Service/ContactInformation/ContactAddress/Country] |
| Country of the data owner organization | |
| Email Address | [Service/ContactInformation/ContactElectronicMailAddress] |
| The email address for the named contact. | |
| Fees | [Service/Fees] |
| Any fees required to use the WMS services and data contained within. Again if there are no fees you are recommended to explicitly state this using the word "none". | |
